On August 1st, the Medical Fragility questions in the assessment will impact prioritization for housing referrals.
On August 1st, prioritization will function like this:
- Medical Fragility
- Chronic Homelessness
- # of HUD Months Homeless
This means that on August 1st clients will not get a referral unless the Medical Fragility questions are answered completely.
Assessors can click here to see which of their clients still need to answer the medical fragility questions.
Then, contact the clients and update the assessment with their answers.
When your program has an upcoming vacancy, request a referral quickly!
- It may take a few days for CES to send you a referral.
- It may take you a week or more to make contact with the client.
- It may take you a week or more to complete intake with the client.
Build in a buffer so your opening does not sit vacant for too long.
When assessing a client you must always complete the "CES Release of Information Date" field.
Enter the date the client signed the CES ROI.
If a date is not entered in that field, the client will get removed from the priority list, without warning.
